I don't, but it only lasts until December, and then I leave it for grad
school.

Mostly, yes. That is, if you can actually call what I do having a job.
It's more like lots of jobs.

I don't in general have a job - I am self employed and have informed people
I won't be working for a while.

I don't hate my job. In my experience, most of the time that's the best
you can ask for.

The best you can ask for is a job doing something you'd do for free, but these
folks seem to think is worth spending lottsa money on you to get you to do
it for them.
I have one of those. Amazing.

It's really too soon to tell. I just started a new one last week.
It seems to be going pretty well so far but I'm not predicting love..

re #8: Or as Robert Frost put it in my favorite of his poems:
( http://poetry.poetryx.com/poems/290/ )
But yield who will to their separation,
My object in living is to unite
My avocation and my vocation
As my two eyes make one in sight.
Only where love and need are one,
And the work is play for mortal stakes,
Is the deed ever really done
For Heaven and the future's sakes.

I did, but I still retired several years after I was eligible to retire
and several years after I realized that my income would *increase* if I
retired. Now I do "pro bono" some of the things I did for pay.

Wish I had a job to love. I would hold it and stroke it and
call it George.

I enjoy my job in some ways. But I have to say that if I won the lotto
or something, I would probably quit. I would like my job a lot better
if it were part time. Unfortunately, like a lot of companies, it is 40
hours or nothing.

I'm not sure if I'd quit my job if I won the lotto. I guess it'd depend
partly on how much I won.

I love all three of my jobs: the one I get paid for and the two I don't.

I wouldn't say I LOVE it, but I do like it, which is fairly important. I've
had too many jobs that drove me insane.

I loved my job, but not the career it was part of - software development.
Serious burnout. I'll enjoy my new career (audio) more, but never have as
good a job.
